Happy Wednesday,
Hope you are all well and keeping warm. I am looking forward to the end of this week as the HobbyCraft show comes to our town at Event City which is next to the Trafford Centre in Manchester and I am going on Friday whoop, whoop :). This shows comes twice a year and I normally go and stock up on card and other goodies, I have a list of things I am hoping to buy and I am looking forward to seeing the demonstrations too :).
Anyway on to my project which is for my Great Niece Becky. I had no idea what to get her and I always think giving just money is a bit lame so I tend to make these type of gift holders.
The digi paper is from Cuddly Buddly, ribbon is from Costco, flowers are Joy Craft with a clear gem which I coloured with my Copics to match and butterfly is Memory Box. The letters were cut with my CraftRobo and raised with foam pads.
Once opened it contains a giant block of Galaxy chocolate and a little pocket which holds a gift card or money - in this case it is money - the words I cut with my CraftRobo using Sweeheart font (one of my favourites) - my CraftRobo does not cut glitter card so after cutting out with normal card I used spray adhesive and pink glitter.
Hope you like my gift card as much as Becky did.
I would like to enter my gift card into the following challenges
